The Islamic Society of Boston, the folks bringing us the new Boston Mosque, are suing everyone in sight, perhaps even the David Project's plumber. Be careful if you clean any Zionist crappers, you too may be served.
Boston Globe: Islamic Society expands libel suit
The suit expanded upon and incorporated two previously filed lawsuits -- the first brought in February against WFXT-TV (Channel 25), and the second in May against Channel 25 and the Boston Herald. In those earlier suits, leaders of the Islamic Society charged that reports broadcast and published in 2003 and 2004 defamed them by falsely linking them to Islamic terrorist groups.
Yesterday's filing alleged that several nonprofit advocacy groups, individuals, and reporters, acting out of alleged bias against Muslims, conspired to defame the society and its leaders.
Among newly named defendants:
Steven Emerson, a Washington-based writer, and his organization, The Investigative Project Inc.;
William R. Sapers, a member of the Board of Trustees of Roxbury Community College;
The David Project Inc., a Boston-based group that focuses on issues related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, and its director of education, Anna Kolodner;
Citizens for Peace and Tolerance, a Cambridge-based group that has questioned whether the leaders of the mosque project were moderate Muslims; its president, Boston College political science professor Dennis Hale; and its director, Steven A. Cohen...
Here is The David Project's statement (Full statement at the link.):
Backed by what appears to be unlimited financial support from unknown funders, the ISB has initiated a lawsuit against citizens and organizations that had the temerity to raise concerns that the ISB and others would prefer not to have raised. The ISB lawsuit apparently seeks to punish those citizens and organizations for raising these issues, and to discourage others from doing so...
Of course this represents a perfect time to go back through the archives and do a run-down of all the various allegations against the ISB and the Mosque project. That'll take a bit more time than I have at the moment, though.
The ISB thinks there's a vast, anti-Muslim conspiracy?!?! If only! Oops- now you and I might get pulled into the lawsuit.
Another bad omen for the forces of freedom and open inquiry and debate. Now all these folks have to hire lawyers to defend them. What a waste of time and money. What an effective tool, right out of the CAIR handbook.
Will the Boston Globe get it now?
After the sue everybody, they would like us to pay college tuition for the children of illegal immigrants. Really.
The Islamic Society of Boston was at the State House yesterday (before they rushed to the court house to file suit to block Americans from excercising the right of free speech) along with Hurmon Hamilton, the senior pastor of Roxbury Presbyterian Church, demanding that illegal aliens be given instate tuition. According to the pastor, charging out of state tuition to illegal foreign residents is "immoral."
Barbara Penzner, president of the Massachusetts Board of Rabbis was there too.
So, in answer to Miss Kelly, no, the Boston globe will not get it now. The Massachusetts Board of Rabbis certainly has not.

Perhaps the Islamic Society of Boston is being subsidized by the ACLU. Oh, never mind. The ACLU is spending all of it's pro bono funding defending the pedophile website of NAMBLA. Seriously, has anyone checked into the funding sources for the mosque itself, as well as the legal fees for their ever growing list of lawsuit targets? I would be interested in knowing if the mosque is going to be another Saudi funded Wahabi location.
